My student's are your average 7-13 year old scholars who are motivated to succeed. Many of our scholars live in poverty and face struggles everyday beyond our control. Our school motto is to develop in each scholar the character, scholarship, and leadership to be college ready. Our school has an extended school year and an extended school day. With funds at a minimum it is important for teachers to be both creative and passionate about what they do.
